Double Chip Scones - Butterscotch & Chocolate

Double Chip Scones - Butterscotch & ChocolateButterscotch is not my favorite flavor but my husband just loves it. So, I created this recipe with him in mind and it was a success - it combines two types of "chips" Butterscotch chips and chocolate chips (the chocolate portion is the only reason why I like them - hahaha).

cinnamon sugar for the topIn a large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt & cinnamon. Then "cut" the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork (like you would for a pie crust) - see picture below. In a separate bowl lightly whisk the egg, vanilla extract and cream together. Add the egg mixture into the flour mixture & stir just until combined (you may need to use your hands to mix in the final bits of flour).

Form the dough into a ball (see picture below on the left). Divide the dough into five OR six equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface - flatten each portion of dough (an inch thick) and make them into a square. Cut that square in half diagonal to make two triangles (see picture below right).

Continue until you have 12 triangle pieces (Or 10 pieces if you divided your dough into 5 ). Place each scone on a parchment lined cookie sheet (see picture below) and sprinkle the top of each scone with some cinnamon sugar.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes (or until desired "doneness" is achieved)

Thanks so much for linking to our blog hop this week. That was so very nice of you. :) The scones are so creative! Maybe I'm new but I've never seen butterscotch and chocolate in one dessert! I wonder if I would enjoy it. It looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing with us this week. Don't forget to stop by Friday to see if you are featured :)
